Austenland: So I had very low expectations for this movie, I'd read the book and not been impressed but my friend thought we should watch it, so we did. It is what it is, but it was better than I expected, some high points, some cringe points.

Saving Mr. Banks: I have been wanting to see this movie since I heard about it. It's made it to the dollar theater and I got to see it with a friend. It was such a fantastic movie! I love Mary Poppins as I believe I've stated previously and it was fascinating learning more of the back story of getting the movie made. Emma Thompson was of course wonderful as was Tom Hanks as P. L. Travers and Walt Disney and the rest of the cast was really great too. The movie was both very funny and happy as well as incredibly tragic, but as a good Disney movie should, it ends on a happy note (and raised on Disney, I believe very much in happy endings.) I would now really like to learn more about both Mrs. Travers and Walt Disney. I highly recommend the movie.
